Arizona United earns draw, will face FC Tucson in U.S. Open Cup match

Arizona United earned a 1-1 draw on Sunday on the road against the OC Blues, pushing the United's unbeaten streak to four matches.

Arizona United got its goal from midfielder Luke Rooney.

"I tried some new things that I've been working on," Rooney said. "I just took a touch. It wouldn't really come down for me, so I didn't really have any choice but to shoot. So I just took a little volley and it managed to get past the keep, surprisingly, in the corner."

But in the 79th minute, OC Blues got the equalizer when Daniel Baccielo scored on a header.

Arizona United (2-3-3) will next play FC Tucson in Tucson in a U.S. Open Cup match on Wednesday.

The United's next home game is May 21 against the Colorado Springs Switchbacks at the Peoria Sports Complex at 7:30 p.m.
